CISC Steelcast - Steel Design for Low Seismicity
2021-03-31 | Alberta
Conventional Construction is the norm in regions of low seismicity. However, earthquake loads need to be checked and compared to other lateral loads (particularly wind) to establish the governing load cases. The design method and design forces are also influenced by the building period, by geometric irregularities and by poor soil conditions. This webinar will introduce to the participant, the methodology of determining earthquake loads and design considerations based on the NBCC 2015 and CSA S16-14 as they relate to regions of low seismicity.

CISC Steelcast - Eccentrically Loaded Bolt Groups
2021-04-29 | Alberta
Bolted connections are often subject to eccentric loads whose line of action does not pass through the centroid of the bolt group. This webinar covers traditional methods, such as the instantaneous centre of rotation, for determining the resistance of eccentrically loaded bolt groups in connections of various configurations. Bolt groups subject to an inclined point load applied in-plane are included, as are bolt groups subject to an out-of-plane vertical load.
The webinar accompanies the CISC publication titled Eccentrically Loaded Bolt Groups (Design Module 1), 2nd Edition. The use of various charts and tables in the module is illustrated by means of solved examples. Practical applications featuring both bearing-type and slip-critical connections are highlighted. The design methods apply to high-strength bolts produced to ASTM F3125 and comply with CSA Standard S16:19, Design of Steel Structures.

Anurag Bhattacharya, Arch. from the renown firm ZJA Zwarts Architects located in Amsterdam presents “The Dutch light rail station-The Hague”. This project won the 2019 European Steel Design Merit and Excellence Award for the most impressive parametric architecture.
The roof’s design was developed and optimized using parametric and computational design methods, making it possible to use rectangular, single curved, cold-bent layered glass and allow a significant reduction in the quantity of materials used in the steel structure.

Sophy Hotel
2021-11-24 | Alberta
Mid-rise buildings typically default to steel or reinforced concrete structural systems, yet recently, prefabricated, light-gauge metal, load-bearing wall systems are becoming a strong contender in the residential and hospitality markets. With proper planning, these systems can be used in buildings 10+ stories tall. During this presentation, Terrence R. McDonnell, S.E., P.E., P.Eng., SECB, will review the general application of these light-gauge steel stud systems and discuss their fabrication and installation and examines the Sophy Hotel case study. The building is a seven-story, ninety-five guest room luxury boutique hotel. Structural systems are comprised of pre-fabricated light-gauge steel stud bearing walls mixed with structural steel to accommodate building column transfers, cantilevered floors, setbacks, and projecting sign elements.
